Hey MMX fans, Maureen here from Meticulae Designs. I've been wanting to
-
make an animated visualization of the kinetic fingers
-
ever since Videos #82 and 83 when they were introduced and subsequently
-
disparaged. Maybe seeing them moving will help people like them better or at
-
least help them understand what Martin's going for. I've got two versions to show
-
you. This first version is the fingers with moving joints controlled by spring
-
steel and a cable mechanism which I detailed in my companion video; go check
-
it out! What I like about this is it actually looks like these fingers are
-
dropping a marble. The second is with rigid fingers. This is the direction
-
Martin seemed to be headed the last time he talked about them. I think it kind of
-
looks like spider legs or maybe a typewriter. On the original machine, the
-
fingers were the marble droppers. Hopefully you can see how the design has
-
evolved for the MMX. I think it'll work well for its function of being seen from
-
far away.
